Matchday 24 brings us an East vs West London derby in the Premier League, with Chelsea playing host to West Ham United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. The Blues are in fifth place in the league standings, while the Hammers are 18th after 23 games. Check out our match prediction below!
Chelsea will enter this match in high spirits after booking their spot in the Round of 16 in the Champions League in midweek by finishing sixth in the League Phase table. They have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning their last four against their cross-town rivals, including a 5-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in August.
While the hosts are looking to return to the top four this weekend, the Irons' target is completely different, as they are hoping to take a step closer to moving out of the drop zone. They’ve spent the entire season below the dotted line, but have shown signs of life recently and are now five points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. Local pride matters just as much as league points in this one - let’s get into the key stats!

Chelsea - West Ham: Form Analysis
After their 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace last weekend, Chelsea pulled off a remarkable comeback from 2-1 down to beat Napoli on the final matchday of the UCL League Phase in midweek.
Liam Rosenier has now won five of his six matches since arriving in the English capital, with the only exception being a 3-2 loss to Arsenal in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final on January 14.
The next task for the new boss will be to help his side improve their home record this term, as they have taken just 18 points from 11 league games (W5 D3 L3). Only seven teams have earned fewer points at home this season.
Chelsea have only lost one of their last 19 EPL home games against this opponent (W14 D4)!
Meanwhile, after managing just three wins in their first 21 league games this season, West Ham have won back-to-back matches coming into this one, beating Sunderland 3-1 and Spurs 2-1.
However, the Hammers have now failed to keep a clean sheet in the EPL since Matchday 3 of the season, and the 45 goals they have conceded are the most of any team in the division after 23 games.
The visitors have earned 10 points from 11 away league games this term (W2 D4 L5), but they ended their eight-match winless run on the road with that victory over Spurs a couple of weeks ago.

Chelsea & West Ham Squad Analysis
After scoring two goals between September and November, Joao Pedro seems to have rediscovered his form of late. The Brazilian has netted four times in his last seven league games, while he also bagged a brace in the victory over Napoli.
Cole Palmer was left out against Palace last weekend and started on the bench in midweek, but he is expected to return from the start here, potentially for Pedro Neto, who was hooked at halftime against Napoli.
The hosts will be missing at least five players this weekend through injury, including Dario Essugo, Tosin Adarabioyo, Romeo Lavia, Caleb Wiley and long-term absentee Levi Colwill.
Joao Pedro scored and provided two assists in the reverse fixture in August!
One of the keys to West Ham’s recent upturn in results has been the output of Crysencio Summerville, who has recorded five goal contributions in his last four matches across all competitions.
The Hammers completed the signing of Adama Traore from Fulham earlier this week, with the Spaniard becoming the team’s third signing this month after attacking duo Taty Castellanos and Pablo.
El Hadji Malick Diouf will be hoping to return to the starting 11, having now had two weeks to recover from the AFCON. Lucas Paqueta and Lukasz Fabianski are sidelined with injuries for the visitors.

Our Chelsea vs West Ham Prediction
While West Ham have notched up wins in their last two games, those came against a Sunderland side that isn’t great on the road, and Spurs, who are winless in their last five EPL matches.
Therefore, this represents a much tougher assignment for the Hammers, as Chelsea enter this one on a four-match win streak and eyeing a return to the top four. The Blues have dominated this fixture in recent times, and we fancy them to take another three points from this match. Our Chelsea vs West Ham prediction is Chelsea wins.
